Ingredients

1 small onion, peeled and chopped
14 tablespoons butter, divided (1 stick plus 3/4 stick)
1 1/2 pounds leftover pot roast, cubed
Salt and black pepper
8 to 10 medium red new potatoes
2 cups milk
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups instant biscuit mix
1 1/2 cups niblet corn or mixed vegetables, prepared according to package dire

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Pot Roast Layer:

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute onion in 2 tablespoons butter. Add pot roast and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.

Potato Layer:

Peel and slice potatoes 1/4-inch thick. Place in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Cook for approximately 15 minutes or until fork tender. Drain potatoes and transfer to a mixing bowl. Whip potatoes with an electric mixer, mixing until moderately smooth. Don't over beat them; a few lumps are nice. Add 1/2 cup heated milk, 1 stick butter, and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Whip again until mixed. Adjust thickness by adding more milk, if desired.

Biscuit Layer:

Combine biscuit mix and 1 1/2 cups of milk. The mix should be thinner than that of normal biscuit mix but not runny.

Spray a 9 by 9 by 2-inch pan (or any similar casserole dish) with cooking spray. Layer mashed potatoes halfway up the sides of the dish. Next, spread a layer of corn or mixed vegetables on top of the potatoes. Then add the layer of pot roast and onions with gravy. Pour the biscuit mix over the meat. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter and drizzle over top. Bake for approximately 35 to 45 minutes or until top is golden brown. Let stand for a few minutes before serving.

Big Hit
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was going to make pot roast ( a family favorite) for my son's birthday, but the idea of transporting it made me think... twice.Instead I cooked a large pot roast for 6 hours and made two casseroles of this recipe. My family couldn't get enough.They loved the biscuit topping and that it was all in one dish.I made it with the corn niblets as my family is not big on peas and carrots.Paula thanks so much.I love feeding my family and when they can't get enough it's even better.Read more

Not Sheperds Pie
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Sheperd's pie is supposed to be from ground leftover lamb but alas many use ground beef which is actually cottage pie. Who... ever heard of biscuit mix in Sheperd's pie ? I don't even think the Brits know what that is!!Read more

So delicious!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was a great way for our family to use leftover pot roast and green beans! I used instant mash potatoes and it tasted... great. Especially easy for a quick weeknight dinner. Give this a try - you'll be happy you did! This isn't the forum for people to vent about whether a recipe is healthy or not or your personal feelings about a chef. Just rate the recipe if you've made. Or else, why are you here? Thanks, Paula! Read more

Enjoyed every bite
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was an easy and good dish, some of you are saying her dishes are bad for you. If you feel that way don't make it and... don't eat it. there are other Chiefs on this website that do make more figure friendly dishes. She is not making anyone make or eat her food come on people lets use a little common sense, just a little!Read more

I agree marie
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

In my opinion, a reallly great cook/chef can cook healthfully AND make a dish taste good. It's much easier to throw fatty... foods in a bowl and have it turn out "delicious". I wouldn't serve anything of Paula's without a defibrillator close by......or to anyone I cared about.Read more
